Dominique created a spreadsheet for tracking Vanguard training.
Officially starting to plan for trainers at campuses! IT will work with IC members to identify who would be good trainers for go-live training. Intent is to identify gaps, e.g., if reps in various topical areas of training are missing

Each space can have a blog. If the content is of limited interest, post it on your group space.
Ben and Adrian recommend items of global interest can get posted to the SILS home page blog.
What will our strategy be? Round up info from the various groups? Let them come to us with topics and consolidate the info? Post their own blogs?
At their weekly meeting, Ben and Adrian to look at decision rollup and decide if there’s something that should be reported more broadly. If so, B&A will ask the group co-chairs if they want to do a blog post.
PMs may see opportunities in meetings and suggest the chair draft a post. B&A will monitor what’s happening in decisions to see if a post is needed.
Idea: ask each group to create a workplan with milestones, major decisions and phases (to use for a timeline). Ben and Adrian will use the Timeline overview, adding swim lanes. Objective: transparency and a way to see what’s happening in each group.
Ben Alkaly (Unlicensed) will draft an email to chairs asking about their workplan, major milestones and phases of the group’s work to create a timeline.
